Front squat:
70 x 5
87.5 x 5
105 x 5
120 x 5
137.5 x 3 *[b]PB[/b]* hard
105 x 8
Bench:
72.5 x 5
90 x 5
107.5 x 5
122.5 x 5 easier than last week's 120
140 x 2 the actual phuck is this? First rep was absolutely terrible. Felt something in my pec so maybe it tore a bit and thats why I failed
+Slingshot:
150 x 3
160 x 3 *[b]PB[/b]* made amends
Without slingshot:
100 x 12 *[b]PB[/b]* not too bad
100 x 8 absolute maximum to end all maximums. No idea wtf is wrong with me today but I can't put 2 good sets together.
My Jimmies are so rustled that I missed that 140, I should really have it for 4+ fuuuuu

had a few preparatory exams (still full units though) last week and my back just self destructed. comp schedule was moved forward too so had to drop smolov and start my cut and power training early. cutting until im not fat lel.
training will be for strength, muscle maintenance and power/speed increases. shoulder is still unhappy for any benching but ill do some heavy chest and legs work tomorrow in some shape or form.

Weight: 97.5kg
Body fat %: 23.4%
Fat free mass: 74.7kg
Fat mass: 22.8kg
3% higher than when I did it last June.. Hopefully will be ~16-17 percent by late July.

I was like 200 until late Feb then suddenly became a fat piece of chit idk mane
I'm cutting to ~12% bf then doing a lean bulk for mass so it'll be a lonnnng time before I handle any proper weight again :(
-
BW lying at just under 89kg, ~ 47 lbs lost since diet started. Will be lean at low 80's so cutting until then.
Had a few injuries, distractions etc so my training has been bad and I now lift the equivalent of a new-born lamb :)
Starting texas method with baby weight on monday with some tweaks because I'm not going to get any muscle and may as well try to get some strength back..
